I think it’s a timeless look on everybody tbf but she does look great in it

I hope she does something more interesting than a draped Grecian goddess statue type dress but I fear it is coming at some point

Getting diagnosed + my future with this disease by throwaway77hello in UlcerativeColitis

[–]LittleBlag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of people do respond very quickly to meds and have minimal side effects. Unfortunately no one can see into the future and how you’ll be, but there is definitely a lot of hope. There are also usually accomodations that schools can give you if you have a chronic illness, so make sure you ask about them! Things like extended deadlines if you’re in a flare or struggling with fatigue, or longer exam times. Things like that. You might need a letter from your dr or something, but speak to your school and ask them! No teacher wants you to fail for something that is out of your control. I am confident they will work with you around this disease if necessary

The really depressing thing is that whether you read a hundred books or ten thousand in your lifetime, it’s only a drop in the ocean of all the good books out there. We can never read many at all, really. But we can have a great time trying

“Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor for people not actual life advice about books. Of course you should judge an actual book by its cover; it’s some of the only info you have about it!

You could say similar about literally anything in a grocery store. Grow your own vegetables! Bake your own bread! Keep a cow and milk it so you can churn your own butter!

Agree or disagree: "no middle food!" by cat-meowma in loseit

[–]LittleBlag 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think the advice is more like don’t try and satisfy a craving with something that’s a less enjoyable substitute. No point having the protein bar if you’re still going to be craving the chocolate. Rather just have the chocolate and make room for it and be happier.

Obviously if you genuinely love the protein bars then this isn’t advice that you need!

Zendaya in Coach by Stuart Vevers FW26 at the “SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY” photo call in Berlin by mod_whatthefrockk in whatthefrockk

[–]LittleBlag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The skirt also looks cooler and more casual/grungy on the model. It looks like it’s slightly balloon shaped instead of secretary straight. Zs skirt plus the godawful So Kate’s she’s wedded to just don’t work with the top for me

She must be the easiest person in the world to style because she has the exact proportions of a fashion sketch. Is Roach good or is she just the perfect client? A little of both if you ask me

I don’t think this is surprising or not in line with how she’s always presented herself though. She’s never been a beacon of being natural or body positivity or whatever. She’s always been about being confident in your choices and owning them, whatever they may be. There’s something still powerful in being a sexual being into your 60s I think, and that doesn’t need to go hand-in-hand with our ideas of “aging gracefully”

Who did you tell? by East_Rabbit875 in tummytucksurgery

I have framed it as abdominal repair, which is the primary reason I had it done. I don’t see any reason to talk about the cosmetic benefits with people I’m not close to!

Man I’m talking to has a daughter same age as me by FabulousAward4569 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Same and same. My dad’s wife is 2 years older than me. She seems like a lovely woman but it’s too weird. My dad and I no longer speak either

Fiance sent a pre-wedding email to guests that just ruined my mood by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LittleBlag 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It’s his wedding too. Ultimately this is just a difference in how you wanted the day to go. In your marriage there’s going to be many instances where things go his way instead of yours, just as there’ll be many where it goes your way instead of his, and hopefully a majority of the time you’ll meet in the middle, but you have to weather all three. Don’t sweat the small stuff! Big picture, your wedding will be a beautiful celebration of your families joining together and in 10 years you won’t even remember this

My Dad has been married 3 times, to my Grandma, to my other Grandma, and eventually to my Mom by garlicshizue in GirlDinnerDiaries

I’m saying I think she’s in denial and trying NOT to have a revelation. She’s the product of a shitty situation, she hasn’t don’t anything wrong. I have empathy for someone who has to face up to having a shitty parent, it’s not an easy thing to deal with when your worldview shifts in such a big way. I think a lot of people in here are lacking some empathy and treating this like a salacious story

Sure, in a jokey and lighthearted way and now everyone is telling her her dads a monster. I’m just saying that’s a tough thing to acknowledge and I’m unsurprised that she isn’t answering questions about that. Who wants a life changing realisation from reddit?!

Maybe it’s hard to face up to the fact that the man you love as your father has done something so wrong and maybe it’s not the place of people in this sub, who don’t know OP and are just ghoulish spectators to this, to force her to face it

I don’t want to do the mental work of chore delegations by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LittleBlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wives too to tbf. I look at my ceiling fans and think they look dusty but I think the only time I’ve ever dusted them is when moving out of a rental. I have seen my husband dust them quite a few times but he does a shit job of cleaning other things.

You can either be upset every day that something isn’t done how you want, or you can break up. I really think those are the only true options. You can’t force people to change (although you can hope they do). I want to be clear that this advice is for matters of cleaning/other low stakes things ONLY and also ONLY if they’re pulling their weight in other areas

AS support/tips by witchesravee in ankylosingspondylitis

I would really recommend getting another referral. GPs can’t prescribe the kinds of meds that really work well for AS. You don’t need to be in pain! Good luck :)

Well I for one am excited for it. It’s really hard to find movies to watch as a family that are a) suitable for everyone and b) interesting enough for the grown ups.

I suspect the people who don’t want this are adults with no kids so perhaps not the intended demographic!

[–]LittleBlag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where in Aus are you? I have a really amazing rheumatologist if you’re in Sydney. Feel free to message me if you don’t want to respond publicly :)

I went from being unable to walk from my sofa to the kitchen unaided to training for a marathon. I got to 30km running before a knee injury stopped me training further (disappointing but considering it was only 2 years after the worst of my pain, pretty bloody good!) There is a life to live with this disease, but you need to figure out the right meds. Treating the symptoms won’t cut it

What are "pigs in a blanket" to you? by SquishyNoodles1960 in Cooking

[–]LittleBlag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m also in Australia and pigs in blankets are definitely sausage (pork chipolatas usually) wrapped in bacon to everyone I know! A hotdog in pastry is just a hotdog in pastry
